Gov. Perdue Announces 135 New Jobs with Avaya
Company plans expansion in Durham County
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue announced today that Avaya, a global provider of business collaboration and communications solutions, will expand its operations in Research Triangle Park. The company plans to create 135 jobs over the next four years with a $500,000 capital investment in Durham County. The project was made possible in part by a Job Development Investment Grant.
“My top priority is creating jobs, and when we see a globally competitive corporation like Avaya bringing 21st century jobs to North Carolina, we know that our history of investments in education and worker training are paying off,” Gov. Perdue said. “We welcome companies like Avaya that are willing to invest in our state and position North Carolina as a leader in business.”
Avaya is a leading global provider of business collaboration and communications solutions that bring people together with the right information at the right time in the right context, enabling business users to improve their efficiency and quickly solve critical business challenges. With 400,000 customers, including more than 85 percent of the Fortune 500 companies and one million customer locations worldwide as of June 30, 2011, Avaya’s customers operate in a broad range of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, retail, transportation, energy, media and communications, health care, education and government.
Avaya intends to consolidate order processing functions widely distributed across North America into Avaya’s facility in North Carolina to integrate processes, manage teams more effectively and improve overall operations. Also, as part of the proposed project, Avaya plans to establish a marketing and sales Center of Excellence in RTP, including a new video collaboration studio, which will support the company’s newest video and collaboration solutions. Avaya currently employs more than 300 people in North Carolina.
